Bikeshedding: the filename should be alma.yaml or almalinux.yaml?

So far, the only YAML with the linux suffix is archlinux.yaml because arch often means CPU archs such as x86_64.

reishoku · 2022-02-06T09:21:03Z

comment: According to AlmaLinux's official website, the distro name is "AlmaLinux", not "Alma Linux". That's why I used "almalinux" for filename.

afbjorklund · 2022-02-06T17:27:39Z

It would help with some background information on what the Linux distribution is, and what it offers...

It seems to be yet another RHEL clone, but I guess that was to be expected when CentOS died ?

AlmaLinux OS is 1:1 binary compatible with RHEL®

Rocky Linux is an open-source enterprise operating system designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux®.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_derivatives

Maybe they can be grouped or labelled or something.

NAME="AlmaLinux"
VERSION="8.5 (Arctic Sphynx)"
ID="almalinux"
ID_LIKE="rhel centos fedora"
VERSION_ID="8.5"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
PRETTY_NAME="AlmaLinux 8.5 (Arctic Sphynx)"

NAME="Rocky Linux"
VERSION="8.5 (Green Obsidian)"
ID="rocky"
ID_LIKE="rhel centos fedora"
VERSION_ID="8.5"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
PRETTY_NAME="Rocky Linux 8.5 (Green Obsidian)"

I would expect them to behave "similar".

afbjorklund · 2022-02-06T17:33:48Z

Side note:
Confusingly, both CentOS 8.5 and CentOS 8-Stream have the same identifiers.

NAME="CentOS Linux"
VERSION="8"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="8"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 8"

NAME="CentOS Stream"
VERSION="8"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="8"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Stream 8"

This is going to be lots of fun, trying to sort those out. So lima didn't even try...

examples: centos.yaml (8.4) -> rocky.yaml (8.5) #448

Yes, they are both trying to be the replacement for CentOS. Rocky is headed by the original creator of CentOS while AlmaLinux is under control of a foundation created (and sponsored) by CloudLinux.

They both want to be the same thing, and they should be extremely similar by design.

Seems fine to me, but there are unaddressed comments from @AkihiroSuda. Not sure what to make of this, as the PR was approved after making those comments; so not sure if they should still be addressed or not.

Fedora LTS 😀

I made some table in some other context, but it should be very similar w.r.t. the RPMS.

Fedora	CentOS
fc12	el6
fc18	el7
fc28	el8
fc34	el9

We decided to drop both el7 and el9, and focus on el8 - which is the current release.

afbjorklund · 2022-02-07T11:24:51Z

Wonder why the alma image is so much smaller than the rocky (and centos) image ?

file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 530 MiB
cluster_size: 65536

file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 1.36 GiB
cluster_size: 65536

Almost a GB in difference, but the compression and the rpm package list look similar ?

afbjorklund · 2022-02-07T11:36:25Z

According to AlmaLinux's official website, the distro name is "AlmaLinux", not "Alma Linux"

Most ridiculous thiing I have heard, but I guess they "inherited" it from CloudLinux (without space).
